Default 1973 Paint Code Production Numbers---WHERE Can I Find Them????

I would be very interested to know where I could find out how many 945 (Blue-Green) cars were made in 1973. I know this was a one year only color. Is there anyplace that has the production numbers? I've searched high and low here and can't find them anywhere

Thanks!!

Dave

According to the Corvette Black Book, no one knows how many of each color were produced. It is considered the "bible" of corvettes and has lots of info but it specifically states that GM can't find any statistics about exterior colors and counts for that year. Someone else may know more but I just wanted ou to know what I found.

Carl, I had to fix the link to get it to work, but it works great nowTHANKS for the info! The 73 Spot has tons of great info as well---still no info on paint code production numbers, but anything else you could possible want to know! Got this one saved in my favs as well

Thanks for the replys! Looks like the amount of 945 cars will just have to remain one of the mysteries of the world!
